Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine in which patients
are treated by administering small and diluted doses of substances that
cause similar symptoms to the ones the patient is suffering from.
Homeopathic medicine is regulated by the FDA, and is monitored by the
National Institute of Health (NIH) and other scientific bodies. It has
many amazing benefits, but the 5 main ones are those that have turned
millions of people into faithful believers of its healing properties:
1. Its philosophyHomeopathy works under the premise that any illness is the result of a weakening of the vital life force of the body. Homeopathic medicine recognizes that this vital force can react and adapt to internal and external changes, and that negative thoughts regarding these changes are what cause illness to appear. This holistic principle, the idea that sickness is an internal process of the body instead of an external force attacking it, is considered one of homeopathy's benefits, because it empowers the individual by implying health is within the body itself, through the power of positive thinking.
2. The human relationship
Normally, the relationship between the patient and the homeopathic doctor is very close. During the first appointment, there is a very deep talk between both in order to understand the symptoms the patient presents, and also his or her lifestyle, emotional and mental state, and personality. This profound knowledge is crucial for homeopathic medicine to work, and it turns the doctor into a trusted friend.
3. The treatment
Homeopathic medicines come from plants, minerals, and other natural elements. The fact that homeopathy does not contain chemicals shows its respect for the body and the individual.
4. Its effects
Although it hasn't been clinically proven that homeopathy can heal a person, more and more doctors in medicine are accepting its holistic approach. This confirms that it is indeed effective and beneficial for the patient.
5. Its regulations
The FDA regulates homeopathic medicine in the same way as it does with other medical disciplines. There is continuous research being done in order to prove the medical effects and side effects of homeopathy, as well as the effect of taking homeopathic medicines along with other drugs. There is no knowledge of homeopathy interfering with conventional medical treatments, the FDA is very careful at monitoring homeopathic medicines that have side effects, however, these are a minority, because they are very diluted.
Homeopathic medicine has become a wellness solution for millions of people around the world, and the same as with traditional medicine, the key to experience its benefits is to find a good professional doctor who cares to understand his patient as an individual and as a human being.
